About

I am a PhD Candidate at the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance and Oxford e-Research Centre, co-supervised by Janet B. Pierrehumbert and Stefan Zohren. My research is focused on incorporating Natural Language Processing into Times Series Forecasting to deliver more accurate predictions of explicit data or events. I am very interested in the ability of NLP to improve current forecasting models and am keen to speak with anyone also interested in this topic. The Grand Union DTP, one of the Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnerships, supports my research through an AQM studentship.

Alongside my studies, I am part of the GB Rowing Development Squad, rowing for Leander Club and Oxford University Boat Club. Having won the U23 and Junior World Championships, I am training to take the step up to Senior level.
